Well our friend Norrms and The Torbay Dementia action Alliance is at it AGAIN!  WOW are they making a difference.  Please read what they are up to below.  I just love how they lead by example and how they are shifting our dementia care culture, not just in Europe but world wide by sharing what they are doing.   Lori La Bey, Founder of Alzheimer’s Speaks

Here is the note I received from Norrms:

Hiya all, this is the complete list of all sign ups in Torbay so  far, as you can see, it might count up to 121 busuiness`s but when you add on over 1,000 under the wing of English Riviera Tourist Board and over 100 under the wing of Torbay Hotelliers Assosiation and multiply that with all the staff that work there, we are, without a Doubt talking about 1,000s of people who are now “Dementia Aware”, we only formed in Jan 2012 and this just shows what we, as a group can achieve when we all support each other, now that’s what we call “WINNING THE BATTLE !!!!!
